Chapter 117: Visitors From Jinling
For this Autumn Examination, Sun Shaozong didn’t enter his home for more than ten days.
After leaving the Northern Town of Dragon Guards, he was naturally eager to return.
He gallops the horse all the way.
At the gate of the Sun Mansion, he saw Wei Licai, the old housekeeper, and Zhao Zhongji, the second housekeeper, waiting outside the gate, but there was no sign of his Elder Brother.
Sun Shaozong was somewhat puzzled, so he hurriedly called Zhao Zhongji to inquire about it. Only then did he know that his Elder Brother had been transferred to look after the victims outside the city and had not returned home for six or seven days.
"I worked a little hard this time, but it was not in vain."
Zhao Zhongji said happily, "He has gotten more than a dozen beautiful women back. Everyone in charge of our Mansion has a share, and the Second Master's room was stuffed with eight at a time!"
This Elder Brother was really a thief!
But...
He clearly warned him not to let women pass by during Ruan Rong's pregnancy. Why did he make such a mistake?
Besides, didn’t he already have Xiangling?
With this in mind, Sun Shaozong was ready to go back to the backyard to see what was going on. If Ruan Rong didn't like the new arrivals, he would send them to another courtyard to settle down. If it doesn’t work, he can learn from the Jia family and simply ask someone to teach them to be an entertainer.
To his surprise, Zhao Zhongji ran after him again and said, "Second Master, in the afternoon, Uncle Xue sent an invitation to his home for dinner on the sixth day of September."
Sun Shaozong stopped for a moment and asked, "What is he inviting here?"
Zhao Zhongji was also not sure, "It was probably a celebration of moving to a new house because the address on the invitation was not Rongguo Mansion, but Xue Mansion on Zijin Street."
Celebration of moving to a new house?
In this way, the marriage between Xue Pan and the Wangs should have been finalized. Otherwise, there was no need to move out of Rongguo Mansion in such a hurry.
"Is there anything else? You might as well finish!"
"Yes, yes!"
Zhao Zhongji then said, "There is also the hometown of Jinling. Yesterday, they sent some local products."
Sun Xi wanted to be polite. Sun Shaozong waved his hand again and said impatiently, "Okay, I'm very tired of invigilating the examination in the Imperial Examination hall for a few days. I don't want to talk to you about it. It's settled."
He then said, "Steward Zhao, take Sun Xi down to have a rest. This month, he will receive another regular payment from our house, which is around your monthly salary."
Zhao Zhongji agreed and went forward to take Sun Xi down, who was so grateful.
After they left, Sun Shaozong went to the backyard by himself.
Ruan Rong had been waiting for a long time. It was not convenient for her to welcome him out, so she sent Xiangling as a representative and led a group of beauties to wait at the gate of the yard for a long time.
Most of them are strangers, they were the eight beauties Zhao Zhongji said.
But...
This was too embryonic, wasn't it?
The younger one was only eight or nine years old, and the older one was only eleven or twelve years old. Was it possible that his Elder Brother had prepared a group of cloud spare tires for himself?
Sun Shaozong was speechless when Xiangling welcomed him with joy and said with a deep salute, "Master, you are back. My sister has asked me more than a dozen times!"
"What about you? Do you miss me?"
Sun Shaozong smiled. Seeing Xiangling's pretty face, he couldn't help but want to hug her and make love to her.
But on second thought, he had just come out of the morgue and said, "Get me the bathtub ready. I want to wash up and get rid of the bad luck and mildew!"
After a pause, he said, "Go and report to Concubine Ruan. Tell her that I will go and see her after I finish washing."
The servant girls were in a hurry, so they put the bath bucket in the west wing room. Xiangling led two girls aged 11 or 12, to wait on Sun Shaozong to take a bath and change clothes. After his whole body was completely refreshed, she escorted him to the main room.
No wonder the ancients said that gentleness was the tomb of heroes.
That night, Sun Shaozong had a long talk with Ruan Rong in the middle of the night, talking about family affairs. In the second half of the night, he fought with Xiangling in the west wing until he was exhausted.
He forgot about the Autumn Examination, the murder case, and the bureaucratic strife!
Unfortunately, this gentleness could only escape for a while, not for a lifetime.
The next day, just after noon, Sun Shaozong was sleeping with Xiangling in his arms. He heard the servant girl report that Feng Xin paid a visit.
